    VINCENT ALFONSO v. HONG KONG DRAGON AIRLINES LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCLA33/2006

    The proviso to clause 24a is a reimbursement provision governed by clause 24d(i); given the wording of clause 24 and the background agreement making overseas allowance payable against receipts, the Tribunal erred in treating the proviso as a non-reimbursement entitlement; because the Tribunal also found the claimant did not incur extra costs, the claimant was not entitled to the maximum allowance and the Tribunal's award was set aside.

    GORDON TAYLOR GRAHAM v. P.J. MANSELL

    Citation
    GORDON TAYLOR GRAHAM v. P.J. MANSELL
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV17/1976

    With insufficient rental evidence the court substituted loss of use of purchase money (A$10,333.33 = HK$67,164) as the proper yardstick and thereby increased the accommodation head (net increase HK$27,164); it also found a 20% disability to plaintiff's net earnings with a five‑year multiplier yielding HK$40,300 for loss of future earnings after normal retirement age; it allowed HK$2,250 for unpaid education fees and rejected the separate utilities claim for lack of proof.
